Chocolate Chip Banana Pancakes

So, even though I love Jack Johnson… I don’t really like banana pancakes. I’m not a fan of globby, warm, overripe banana goo. What can I say? I prefer underripe bananas. I’m weird. All that being said… I absolutely adore these banana pancakes. They are so light, fluffy, and just sweet enough to be a little extra treat in the morning [or at noon or in the evening… pancakes are good anytime!].

So what makes these banana pancakes so great? Let me give you a hint: It’s not just the chocolate chips.

The bananas in the mix are mashed, not sliced, which give each bite full of banana flavor without that warm banana goo. This batter reminds me so much of banana bread, it’s uncanny! I cannot say enough good things about them, except to say that you should definitely check out the original post on Skinnytaste. Gina’s heart shaped pancake mold is absolutely precious… and I’m sure makes the pancakes taste a teensy weensy bit better. But I’m here today to say that even if you just make these the regular ‘ole way, they are still pretty amazing.🙂

Bananas + chocolate chips are a match made in heaven. The first time I made chocolate chip banana bread for my husband he thought I was crazy! He’d never had it before and said the chocolate chips ruined the banana bread – no way!
